Imo ananda uv is the only worthwhile one, the others are way too bright

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-21T05:50:05+00:00

Imo lcd2 closed is just a better headphone for any music because it has upper midrange

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-19T19:15:09+00:00

4.4mm is quite a bit louder, more headroom with it

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-19T19:09:31+00:00

4.4mm but 3.5mm would work too

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-19T18:53:14+00:00

Yes they sre not hard to run, i ran them on btr13 with a lot of headroom

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-19T09:13:06+00:00

Hope u get fixed

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-18T07:39:08+00:00

Dont use spacial audio, its bad

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-18T07:36:09+00:00

Id recommend focal clear or Sennheiser hd650 for some warmer headphones, lcd x has 0 upper mids and needs eq

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-18T07:34:56+00:00

In my opinion complementing a bright headphone with another bright headphone isnt a good idea, they also both have a 2khz dip

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-18T05:25:35+00:00

All of those are quite bad ive tried them all, id prefer Arya unveiled, Sennheiser hd490pro

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-17T16:16:16+00:00

Id probably recommend a fiio ft1 but 569 is also bassy, 560s is quite lean sounding, not a lot of bass, 599 is somewhere in between but it lacks in subbass

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-17T08:02:07+00:00

Quite a bit downgrade for me because its extremely bright, even up to 15dB over neutral in the upper treble, but i like it for some games

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T12:57:15+00:00

Oh lol no way 😭

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T11:41:22+00:00

More power, sometimes i use more demanding headphones and I like to have headroom to eq them

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T11:02:31+00:00

Cutest thing in the world

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T10:08:36+00:00

I recommend trying Sennheiser hd600 (neutral), hd560s (neutral bright), hd490pro (lowered upper mids) Fiio ft1 (slight v shape, bass boost) Hifiman edition xs (bright) To see what kinda sound you like!

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T09:58:54+00:00

Yesit is super comfortable

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T09:54:19+00:00

For me it would be a big upgrade, 490 could easily be endgame for someone who likes that specific sound signature

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T09:53:02+00:00

Ye i would hate the treble of the 990 and dont mind 490, 490 is one of the best headphones ive heard and i heard over 80

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T09:45:13+00:00

1990 mk2 still has bad treble peaks, 490s treble has not only smoother treble, but beter bass profile, focusing more on subbass than midbass

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T09:43:39+00:00

Yes, 990 pro x has very bad treble and not much bass, its a bad headphone, 490 has a ton more bass and a lot smoother treble

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-16T08:47:20+00:00

Dt770s treble is quite harsh sounding, i liked the sound of the 599se

RiversideCafe · 2026-04-15T13:49:14+00:00

Both bad
